are easy with the right food. But cats are very, very smart!! Been in your shoes years ago with a trap, neuter and release group. They smell the people scent on the traps and it scares them. Have known a few people that used the kitty pheromone sprays after cleaning the traps and only handling them with gloves. If only they knew we were really trying to help them..
